The Contract

Chapter 12

Levy stood there huffing, her body shaking. The glow on her body, dissipating then appearing.

"You are already starting to kill yourself..." Scott said, which caused Kline to look worried for a split second. She grits her teeth together, knowing what he meant. Her chest had turned white, and hard, causing a crack. When they die, there body turns into white shell that breaks into pieces.

"It's time to end this."

Kline and Scott move, attacking Levy from both sides.

"Ice Dragon, Ice Wall!"

Huh, she thought, suddenly being surrounded by a black shadow before realizing it was Rogue. She was surrounded by everyone as Rogue came out of the shadows.

"What-?"

"Wendy now!"

"Power of the stout arms that tears heaven...ARMS!" A blue light emits from her hand, into a circle. Then everyone's arms glowed including Levy's.

"Let's go!" She watches as they all attack Scott and Kline. Each of them yelling something related to Dragon force(meaning all the dragon slayers only).

"Levy." She turns her head to see Lucy looking at her, worried.

"What are-"

"We don't have time. Just be ready to attack Kline."

Panther Lily, a small flying cat appears then, picking Levy her up and flying off. She look up at him as he said, "Get ready!" She looks down seeing, that everyone had split Scott and Kline up. Kline could only defend there attacks since his orders only told him. Scott on the other hand, had knocked Mira and Wendy back while defending the other attacks. Levy knew what she needed to do.

"Let me go."

Swiping at Panther Lily's arms, causing him to let go, Lily yells, "Levy?!"

She falls now, her eyes set on his back that was now turned to her. Rogue notices her coming, shocked for a moment then moving people out of the way.

"What!?" Gajeel remarks, thinking, she is aiming for-. Her glowing arm went straight through Scott's chest, her hand holding onto his heart. Blood spurted everywhere as she pulls her arm out, his heart still in her hand.

"Master! Scott!" Kline appeared beside him, his skin already turning white. He inhales sharply at the pain it caused.

Meanwhile, Scott turns around slowly, gaping hole in his chest, blood spilling out. Blood coming out from his mouth, trying to talk now.

"...Coming..."

His body fell to the ground. Levy's eyes were already on Kline, who was in pain. His breathing labored, and his body slowly hardening.

"Kline..." Levy whispered, starting to step forward, but Kline shook his head no.

He looks at her now, saying, "You...You knew that if you killed him, I couldn't..." His breathing becomes more erratic. "You even knew the risk, yet you did it..."

His sentences started not to make sense, causing Levy's eyes to water. A small smile went formed across his face while his topaz eyes faded white. Kline's body fell apart like a shattered bowl before turning to ash. Levy stood there, staring at the spot where Kline once was.

"Levy," Gajeel said, putting his hand on her shoulder. Her puffed up brown eyes look up at him now.

"Wendy needs to heal you." His eyes look at her body, examining her body. Her skin was pale, and there was a crack on her neck, chest and arms.

"She can't heal me right now. This was my fault."

He looks at her confused.

"If I caused the crack, it was due to me summoning my powers. My body will not accept her healing me. Plus, look at her. She used a lot of her power."

Damn, he thought, turning his head to look at Wendy. Wendy was sweating, and taking her time on each wound.

"Okay. Bandages will do then." Her eye brow raises at that comment. Gajeel must have thought the same thing, and adds, "I mean real bandages."

She smiles a bit at that, surprising herself.

"Stay here."

About to say something, Gajeel would already be gone. When he came back, Gajeel sat her down on the ground. Levy sat on her knees, while he crossed his legs in front of her. Starting to bandage her up, he winced when she did.

"Sorry," Gajeel said, wrapping up her neck then arms.

"It's okay. Thank you for doing this."

As he wrapped up her arm, his eyes traveled to her chest, examining the crack. The bandages covered her breasts like regular bandages, which relaxed him a bit, especially since she was shirtless. But he realized he would have to touch her. The crack didn't make him feel better either. He wanted to lick the wound. He froze for a moment as his thought, then shakes his head.

"Is something wrong?"

His red eyes look at hers noticing her cheeks were pink. He felt his own cheeks turn pink in return. He clears his throat, before remarking, "I'm going to have to touch your chest. Is that okay?"

"N-No, it's okay, I can." She winces regretting that she waved her arms. His face got serious then, putting his arm around her, slipping the bandage around her.

"Don't move."

Her heart pounded in her ears, feeling his fingers touch her. Gajeel tried to concentrate, but the feel of her soft skin made his stomach clench. Once he was done, he puts his hand under her chin, examining his work. She watches him, noticing his red eyes light up? Suddenly someone clears there throat, causing them to turn there head to see Lucy standing there.

"Hi. I just wanted to see how Levy is doing."

Gajeel nods, getting up. "I'll go check on the others then."

They watch him leave, and Lucy sits by her, asking her, "The tension between you two is almost palpable."

Her face turns red, remarking, "He was just helping me."

"Yeah okay." Lucy smiles disappears as she looks at the bandages. "Are those going heal?"

Levy nods, looking at them herself. "I have to wait until the next full moon."

Lucy panics a bit, remarking, "That's a month away!?"
